It wouldn't be a true Aliexpress experience if the product wasn't packaged like household waste. It's rather alarming for something so fragile.

[@aivi.10n]

Omg I really really hope not all aliexpress sellers pack like this 😐 Some of the reviews for this seller said “good” packaging too . . .

[@delweiss9364]

It was so irresponsible of them to not put this beauty in a box, especially after you spent so much for her. I was so keeping my fingers crossed that she wouldn't be broken. I can safely say that after seeing your video, I will never order from AliExpress. And just my opinion, but I think you were too generous in your rating. If it was me doing the rating, they would be lucky to get two out of five and the only reason they would have gotten that much is because the figure actually survived their shoddy packaging. That was pure luck. Thank you for sharing your experience. Very much appreciated!

[@aivi.10n]

I'm glad this was helpful 😊 ! It will forever remain a mystery to me as to why they thought a bag + bubble wrap would be sufficient . Many of the reviews said she arrived safely too ... I don't know if I just got unlucky 😢 I definitely wont be taking any chances again soon either .

[@attokari]

Aliexpress is kind of like Amazon if you think about it. Some of the figures are fake but theres sellers that actually sell authentic figures. So theres always chances of getting a real one if you're careful. The only thing is that Amazon, (most of the time) protects well their packages and that's why I prefer buying stuff over there.

[@attokari]

I recently ordered a miku figure off aliexpress aware that it was a bootleg. And it literally came in a clear plastic bag. It luckily wasn't damaged or worse, broken. That's how you know how careless some sellers towards the people buying their products. Before buying, ask the seller if they could protect the item a little more so it doesn't risk of getting any marks or bits breaking.

[@aivi.10n]

That is so true ! Amazon is a hit or a miss but at least they take a little bit of care in packaging ! I am really surprised that bags are so commonly used to ship items on Aliexpress 😢 Even with bubble wrap, the figures wont be as well protected as with a box . Thank goodness for no damage on your figure !!

[@beazmetry]

can’t wait for the unboxing of this figure!! it’s one of the prettiest I’ve seen I’m debating wether to get it from aliexpress or try to find it pre owned😬 even though the packaging suffered a bit, I’m glad yours arrived safe!

[@aivi.10n]

Sorry for the delay ! I've been on vacation I will try to get it up as soon as possible ~ I pray that your aliexpress order arrives in perfect condition (if you choose it) !! Thank you ! I am so relieved that she is unharmed ! 💕

[@aurska4061]

You were very courageous to order her from Ali express, I could not 😅, so scared to get a fake. I ordered mine from Gameharbors, wouldn’t do it again tho…their shipping prices are wild, 90$ for her. Happy your miku is legit 👍.

[@aivi.10n]

I was super nervous through the whole process 😖 The listing I bought from had lots of photo reviews so that helped ! Omg $90 just for shipping ?! 😭 shipping prices have been brutal lately . Yay for both of us having her in our collections 💕!

[@silverfox1160]

love the cute ikanaide music in the background

[@aivi.10n]

It sounds so nice in music box ver ~

[@lilnighti286]

Quick question, does anyone know where I can buy the Hatsune Miku Magical Mirai 10 anniversary figure?

[@aivi.10n]

I'm seeing most of her pre orders have closed 😥 Hopefully when she's fully released she'll pop up in more shops ~ Good luck !

[@aayame15]

glad she arrived safely

[@aivi.10n]

Thank goodness she's safe !

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

i cant believe you done that. love you girr also cute bear

[@aivi.10n]

🐻💕

[@snowmiku2022]

I’m glad she arrived safely.ive bought a couple of authentic prize figures from AliExpress and arrival time is usually between 3-6 weeks for me (I live in the uk)

[@aivi.10n]

Thank you 💕 ~ That's good to know ! I'm curious, were the figures packaged better for you ?

[@snowmiku2022]

@@aivi.10n for the most part yes. They weren’t packaged in there original boxes though only the plastic packaging

[@aivi.10n]

@@snowmiku2022 D: Awww no original boxes ? That's a deal breaker for me :/

[@WayneLLC]

Glad your Miku came through 😊 Love your rating system… the blank ones look like buns 😂 Pity about the packaging but luckily the figure and fan is safe! Nonetheless, i strongly agree with you that they should have used cardboard shipping box, there can be no excuse for this. About the shipping, I have a feeling it has to do with the covid situation in China. Since March-ish, they started locking down and some areas to this day has not reopened. Personally, half of my parcels are still pending.

[@aivi.10n]

Heheh must keep on bear theme after all ~ I really wonder why they didn't ship in a cardboard box . From the reviews some people got boxes some also had corner guards :O Hopefully the situation improves soon & everyone is safe . Omg half are still pending ?! I really hope they'll arrive soon ! Waiting is nerve wrecking sometimes 😣

[@WayneLLC]

@@aivi.10n For the cardboard box, I can see it as potential cost-cutting measure. Although, it is really strange if they will go to the extent of using that air bubble wrap thingy, instead of just using proper box and paper stuffing within. Personally, I can attest that all my Chinese sellers ship in boxes and they are quite meticulous in their handling. Regarding the delay, ironically I kind of hope they come later .. I am running out of space with my boxes stacking like the great walls of China :|

[@aivi.10n]

@@WayneLLC That could be it ! Maybe the shipping costs are different for bags and boxes , or bags weigh less than boxes 🤔 Ahaha yesss the boxes do start piling up ~ 🤣

[@queen-kg8zv]

do you have a link?

[@aivi.10n]

I bought from here ~ a.aliexpress.com/_mtf66xg

[@mafuyuzz]

my miku figure from aliexpress is auethentic i believe, and the packaging was alright.. the box came dented but thats okay i guess, id give it a 4.5/10! the sellers are a bit blunt and rude though haha,, i ordered 2 more mikus from aliexpress, they have yet to arrive. i hope they're auethentic!

[@aivi.10n]

If only they were more careful with their packaging ! Then I'd shop more often ~ Hopefully the figure itself was in good condition !

[@mafuyuzz]

@@aivi.10n update! i recieved 3 since i ordered another, the first one was alright but unfortunatley her bow was broken... the next one i recieved was in perfect condition with wonderful packaging! the other one though im not too happy with,.. the color on her legs doesnt match the rest of her body, unfortunatley.. but hey! you get what you pay for

[@aivi.10n]

@@mafuyuzz Ahhh it really is a hit or miss 😕I'm glad at least 1 was in perfect condition !!

[@y5tai8usalli]

i love you vídeo

[@aivi.10n]

Thank you so much 💕💕

[@kittypaws2135]

May I know how much it costs?

[@aivi.10n]

Of course ~ If I remember correctly, the total with shipping and taxes was ~ $240 .

[@nnop9628]

[@fatiharslan1255]

Original figures are too expensive. İ still stick aliexpress:)

[@aivi.10n]

Wallet-san hates me haha 🤣

[@manhhoang5836]

Fr this one is $272 USD or $360 CAD. I love her so much but trying to save my wallet 😢😢
